Taxi drop-off and pick-up
Already booked your taxi? No problem – just arrange to meet them in the Pick-Up Zone on the ground floor of the MultiStorey car park.
Taxis can drop off passengers in either the Drop-Off Zone opposite the terminal or in the free drop-off zone in the LongStay car park.
The free drop-off area is next to the LongStay car park, so you’ll need to take the complimentary shuttle bus to the terminal. This service runs frequently and only takes around 5 minutes.
You can also pre-book your taxi from the airport via our partners Edinburgh City Private Hire.
